Chapter 401: Attack La Liga! The big explosion that sank the Galaxy Battleship [a big chapter with words, please beg to subscribe]

In the 23rd round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Rayo Vallecano away.

It is estimated that Cooper himself did not expect that his team would actually play an offensive battle with Atletico Madrid at home.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Falcao opened the scoring for Rayo Vallecano.

But 2 minutes later, Di Maria scored a goal to equalize the score.

In the 13th minute, with an assist from Modric, Messi penetrated the goal guarded by De Gea and took the lead.

But in the 33rd minute, Hulk scored again for Rayo Vallecano.

The first half ended in a 2-2 tie, making the situation even more uncontrollable.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides resumed fighting.

Atletico Madrid launched a fierce attack, and in the 58th minute, Suarez received an assist from Marcelo and scored, surpassing the score again, 3-2!

Cooper made continuous substitutions and adjustments in an attempt to launch a counterattack.

In the 78th minute, Hazard, who came on as a substitute, received an assist from Messi and scored in the middle of the penalty area, 4-2!

But just 4 minutes later, center Berbatov, who came on as a substitute for Vallecano, used an incredible long shot to break Neuer's goal, closing the gap again for Vallecano.

3 is better than 4!

But in the 87th minute, Iniesta's goal expanded Atletico Madrid's score again, 5 to 3!

In the 89th minute, Vallecano got a corner kick opportunity. Falcao took Hulk's header and scored another victory for Vallecano.

4 is better than 5!

In the 92nd minute, at the last minute of stoppage time, Atletico Madrid also got a chance for a corner kick.

Van Dijk hit a header from close range to seal the victory for Atletico Madrid.

6 is better than 4!

After the game, fans all over the world were mesmerized and cheered, thinking that this was a model of La Liga's offensive football.

Scoring 10 goals in one game is crazy!
Especially in the second half, the game was so exciting that both teams went absolutely crazy.

Yang Hao didn't get angry, but he didn't praise the players either.

Everyone could see that he was very dissatisfied with this game.

But no way.

We have been fighting continuously and we just played against Barcelona in the middle of the week, so rotation is a must.

What's even more terrible is that Pepe's absence due to injury has had a great impact on Atletico Madrid's defense.

Both Ramos and Thiago Silva have certain problems with height defense, which is an inevitable shortcoming.

Van Dijk is very capable and has been supported by Yang Hao, but the problem is that in high-intensity games like Rayo Vallecano away from home, Yang Hao left Ramos and Thiago Silva unused and let Is it appropriate for Van Dijk to start?

In fact, later on, Yang Hao realized that Rayo Vallecano was grabbing Atletico Madrid's head and beating him, so he decided to replace Van Dijk.

This was the last minute goal from Van Dijk.

The Dutch central defender has been practicing in the Spanish Second Division for several years and his overall performance is quite good, but he is only 21 years old and is still a bit immature.

……

After playing Rayo Vallecano in the city and returning to Mahadahonda, after the team disbanded, Yang Hao still stayed in the office.

The next round is an away game against Valladolid.

Ranieri's team has surprised everyone this season.

They are currently ranked 7th in La Liga, which is outrageous.

Valladolid's signings are not big, and they don't even have any star players. Montolivo is an Italian international, but he is not a big name. This has led to Valladolid's cost-effective signings not attracting too much attention.

But after half the game, this team was ranked 7th.

Don't think that seventh place in La Liga is such a bad result, this is already very amazing.

Especially as a newly promoted horse.

But Yang Hao was not worried about how to play Valladolid, but thinking about his own affairs.

"Do you feel that I am getting less and less courageous now?"

Yang Hao suddenly asked, leaving Guardiola, Lillo, Mendiodo and others all confused.

A black question mark flashed above everyone's head.

Are you, Yang Hao, timid?

If you tell others, will anyone believe you?

"In the past, people like Ramos and Pepe started playing as main players in the team very early. Even 21 years old is considered relatively late."

When Yang Hao said this, he suddenly sighed, "It was before, but it wasn't too long ago. It was only three or four years ago. At that time, Ramos, Pepe and Thiago Silva, we were How harsh was the scolding?"

Everyone present had experienced that era and had survived it together with Yang Hao. They all laughed bitterly in unison.

From the perspective of hindsight, Yang Hao did the right thing, so he won a lot of applause.

But at the time, it was really a crazy decision.

Even within the team, there are many people who are questioning, not to mention worried.

"But now, I still don't feel comfortable using something like Van Dyke. I feel like I'm getting less and less courageous."

After saying this, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

"Ignorant people are always fearless, smart people are always worried." Guardiola suddenly said this.

Everyone looked at Guardiola strangely, chewing on his words.

Don't tell me, it makes sense.

"In the past, the competitive pressure was not as great as it is now. La Liga was more of a competition between us, Real Madrid and Barcelona. No matter how hard we try, we can ensure the top four in the league."

"But what now? There are so many teams coveting the top four in the league. Although we are a little safer, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems, especially if we lose again and again, the chain reaction will be unimaginable."

"In the past, how much revenue did our team earn? How much is it now? If we can't keep the top four in the league, even if the sponsors don't trouble us, just based on the contract, our team will lose at least over 100 million euros in revenue."

Juanma Lillo analyzed Yang Hao's mentality from the overall trend of the league.

"In the final analysis, it used to be more focused on the competitive level, but now there are too many issues to consider, the scope is too broad, and it is too complex."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

In fact, it's not just Yang Hao, why aren't they the same?
Before doing anything, you will first consider whether it is in line with Atletico Madrid's current status and influence, whether it will bring any bad consequences, whether it will affect the team...

Yang Hao sighed with mixed emotions.

In fact, he vaguely guessed that many people should have thought about it, but were unwilling to say it, or dared not say it.

That's the locker room.

Throughout the history of world football, there has never been a team with five Ballon d'Or players like Atletico Madrid.

This kind of lineup configuration is definitely the most luxurious and largest in history.

But behind the glamor, there are often complex interpersonal relationships.

Although they are all from Atletico Madrid's youth training, and although Yang Hao is there to suppress them, it is inevitable that there will still be some problems between the players, including some playing time.

Many people will find it strange why Messi can sincerely celebrate Iniesta at the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony?

The reason is simple, he won two Golden Globe Awards!
Moreover, with his current situation, he still doesn’t know how many seats he can get.

But what about Iniesta?

Just this one!
Nowadays, Messi’s status as the number one brother of Atletico Madrid is unshakable.

So why can't he sincerely celebrate Iniesta?

But on the other hand, what if Messi hasn't won the award yet?

What if Iniesta wins the award, will Messi's position be shaken?

The more stars there are, the more aspects the head coach needs to weigh the pros and cons, and the more troublesome it becomes to control.

Does Yang Hao know?
He knows.

Therefore, everything he does, from recruiting players to supporting Guardiola to take over, he is cautious and cautious, for fear of making any mistakes.

But this will also lead to the current situation.

In fact, this is not a problem of Atletico Madrid alone, nor is it a problem of several companies, but a problem that all teams, all large companies, and even all institutions will inevitably encounter.

There is actually no solution to this problem!

When a team begins to encounter this kind of problem, and it gets worse and worse, and even affects the team's combat effectiveness, the solution is simple, substitute!

It can be as simple as changing the coach, or as serious as changing the general!
For example, before Yang Hao traveled through time, many people were asking why Real Madrid's replacement was so smooth, but Barcelona was so unsmooth?

The answer actually lies here.

When Real Madrid resolutely sold Ronaldo, although they suffered tremendous pain and their results were affected, they showed a very strong determination to update and iterate the lineup, and then insisted on strongly supporting young players. .

In addition to Ronaldo, the most typical issue is the retention and use of players such as the three midfielders and Varane.

In the end, Real Madrid came out after surviving the pain.

What about Barcelona?
If you compare the lineup changes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it can completely reflect the gap between the management of the two clubs in this regard.

This is actually the reason why Yang Hao is determined to leave in 2014.

Kaka, Adriano, and even Torres and Iniesta are all getting older.

As long as Yang Hao is still there, many things will be difficult to deal with.

If you are not careful, big problems may occur.

Yang Hao stepped down and Guardiola stepped up to take full charge of the first team. Yang Hao only needed to silently support Guardiola from behind, and then Guardiola could drastically promote the lineup reform and create a team of his own. .

If Guardiola encounters problems similar to Yang Hao's at Atletico Madrid in the future, then Guardiola will be removed and replaced with another head coach.

This is the secret to the longevity of a wealthy football team!

……

In the 24th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Valladolid away.

Messi opened the scoring for the Sheets in the first 10 minutes. He scored another goal in the 53rd minute of the second half and scored twice, helping Atletico beat Valladolid 3-0 away from home.

Suarez scored the third goal.

……

On the evening of February 2th, London.

In the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round, Atletico Madrid challenged Arsenal away.

After the game started, Atletico Madrid successfully controlled the situation on the scene.

The overall strength of the Sheets Legion is obviously higher than that of the Gunners.

Only 7 minutes into the game, Messi dribbled the ball from the right and passed it into the penalty area. He wanted to find Suarez, but Mertesacker took the lead and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

But on the outside of the penalty area, Modric grabbed the spot and passed it to Toni Kroos on the left side of the penalty area.

After the German midfielder stopped the ball, he fired furiously and hit a long shot from outside the penalty area, which penetrated Arsenal's goal.

1 is better than 0!

This goal completely ignited the atmosphere of the game.

Atletico Madrid also completely let go.

When Arsenal fell behind in the score, they increased the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt in an attempt to pressure Atletico Madrid out, but the effect was not obvious.

In the 16th minute, Atletico Madrid also got a free kick opportunity at the front of Arsenal's penalty area, but Messi failed to hit the penalty and missed the opportunity.

But in the 21st minute, Toni Kroos took a corner kick, Ramos nodded the ball in front, and Messi, who was unguarded at the back point, suddenly stepped in, hit a close shot, and sent the ball to Arsenal. goal.

2 is better than 0!

Just before the end of the first half, Alves came in from the right and crossed with Messi. Suarez, who ran out of space in the penalty area, headed the goal from close range to expand the score again.

3 is better than 0!

Atletico Madrid sealed the victory in the first half.

The Sheets completely dominated the entire first half, even forcing the Gunners to not have a shot in the first half.

Regardless of the strength of the two sides or the intensity of the game, they are obviously not on the same level.

Today's Gunners are really not competitive when facing a strong team like Atletico Madrid.

Even the English commentator who was commentating on the spot had to admit: As a strong player emerging from the hellish competitive environment of La Liga, the intensity of Atletico Madrid's competition in the Champions League made it difficult for Arsenal to withstand.

Speaking of fast, the Premier League has always been the fastest.

But the speed of La Liga is not the speed of the Premier League, but the speed of the ball.

The most obvious one is Walcott, is he fast enough?
As a single arrow in this game, he shouldered the burden of Arsenal's frontcourt counterattack.

But in the game, did he get a chance?
Can he catch passes from behind?
The answer no longer needs to be said.

Atletico Madrid is very fast whether it is passing and controlling the ball or transitioning between offense and defense. Every time they grab the ball, they pass it continuously and skillfully, and they can immediately transfer the ball to areas where Arsenal's defense is weak.

This skill is rare in the entire European football world, let alone the Premier League.

After Wenger left, it has been difficult for Arsenal to appear stably in the Champions League in recent years. Facing Atletico Madrid's style of play, they are really difficult to resist.

After changing sides in the second half, the Gunners used the opening to launch a wave of attacks and created two shooting opportunities, but failed to pose a threat.

But Arsenal also took advantage of a corner kick in the 63rd minute. Neuer made a mistake and the Gunners seized the opportunity. Mertesacker scored with a header and got a goal back.

1 is better than 3!

But then, Atletico Madrid launched another wave of offensive.

Especially in the 82nd minute, Messi dribbled the ball in the middle and cooperated with David Silva. David Silva sent a direct pass, and Alves diagonally inserted into the right side of the penalty area. , after receiving the ball, he pushed and scored to expand the score.

4 is better than 1!

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Arsenal 4-1 away from home.

This score almost guarantees that Atletico Madrid will advance to the top 8 with one foot.

Now that Atletico Madrid has won three consecutive Champions League titles, the Sheets still maintain strong competitiveness.

……

Over the weekend, the 25th round of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid returned to home and defeated Espanyol 1-0 thanks to Torres' goal.

Barcelona reversed Sevilla 2-1 at home after conceding a goal first.

Real Madrid also lost the first goal in the away game and reversed Deportivo La Coruña 2-1 with goals from Pastore and Higuain.

Valencia drew 3-2 with Zaragoza away from home.

Getafe defeated Real Mallorca 3-1 away from home.

As a result, the situation in La Liga as a whole has gradually become clearer.

The competition for the championship is still a game between Madrid and Valencia, but the battle for the top four in the league has completely heated up. Teams including Barcelona, ​​Getafe, Malaga, etc. are all full of ambitions for the top four.

……

In mid-week, the Copa del Rey ushered in the second leg of the semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid hosts Sevilla.

Since Lewandowski performed well in the Copa del Rey, Yang Hao continued to arrange for him to start.

The Polish forward performed poorly in the first half and missed several good opportunities, which gave Yang Hao the urge to replace him.

Unexpectedly, Lewandowski scored at the beginning of the second half.

Although Sevilla later equalized the score, Lewandowski's second goal in the 71st minute helped Atletico secure the victory.

The Sheets defeated Sevilla 2-1 at home, successfully eliminated their opponents and advanced to the finals.

In another matchup, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-1 with a score of 3-1 at home and 4-2 away from home, and successfully reached the final.

As a result, this year's Copa del Rey final has become a duel between the Madrid duo.

This immediately attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

Not to mention anything else, many countries and regions that originally didn't have much interest in broadcasting are now rushing to come to the door, making the Spanish Football Association make a lot of money.

Interestingly, the final was scheduled to be held at the Bernabeu.

Atletico Madrid plays Real Madrid and plays the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu, which is full of gimmicks.

……

Entering March, we ushered in the 3th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid, which had just eliminated Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, defeated Barcelona again 2-1 at home.

Juande Ramos' team performed well this season and showed good competitiveness, but in the end it was still slightly inferior.

Valencia narrowly defeated fellow city team Levante 3-2 at home.

This city derby was also very difficult.

Getafe defeated Zaragoza 2-0 at home.

Atletico Madrid was away from home and defeated Malaga 1-0 with Messi's goal as a substitute.

……

Round 27 of La Liga.

Atletico Madrid was at home and, with Messi's brace, beat Real Sociedad 5-1 at home.

Rayo Vallecano defeated Espanyol 2-0 at home.

Real Madrid reversed Celta Vigo 2-1 after conceding the first goal in the away game.

By the way, Real Madrid has completed reversals in many consecutive games so far.

On the one hand, this shows that Real Madrid has some problems with its overall level and state during long-term multi-line operations, so it frequently concedes the ball first.

But on the other hand, Real Madrid players also showed a rare mental state.

For example, in this game, they conceded the goal at the beginning and fell behind for an hour. It was not until the 1th minute that Cristiano Ronaldo equalized the score for Real Madrid.

The Portuguese has now become the source of motivation for Real Madrid to win.

In the 71st minute, Real Madrid won a controversial penalty kick. Cristiano Ronaldo made the penalty kick and took the lead.

Regardless of the process, Wenger's team did show a very tenacious and iron-blooded side.

This gave Yang Hao a very headache.

With Real Madrid's strength and lineup configuration, if they can really maintain this momentum and the team's fighting spirit until the end of the season, it is really possible to win La Liga.

……

Midweek, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds.

When the first leg of the match between the two sides ended, Atletico Madrid had basically advanced. The second round was more of a long game, but Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid still did not dare to be careless.

Arsenal tried to launch a fierce attack at the beginning, but failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and were quickly counterattacked by Atletico Madrid.

Adriano received an assist from Messi and opened the scoring for Atletico after pushing away Mertesacker in the penalty area.

It was not until the 75th minute that Atletico Madrid relied on a corner kick opportunity. Pepe, who had returned from injury, headed a header to seal the victory for the Sheets.

Atletico Madrid defeated Arsenal 2-0 at home and eliminated the Gunners with a total score of 6-1.

……

Sometimes, things in the world are quite outrageous.

After the president of UEFA changed, many things changed.

For example, this year’s Champions League quarter-final knockout draw.

All four teams in La Liga have advanced to the quarterfinals. The other four teams are Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A, and Manchester United in the Premier League.

As a result, when the lot was drawn, all four La Liga teams were staggered and faced teams from the Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A respectively.

According to outside media, the other three major leagues are joining forces to attack La Liga!

Atletico Madrid faced Serie A's Juventus.

Wenger's Real Madrid once again met Ferguson's Manchester United.

This is exactly the scene of a showdown between old enemies.

Ancelotti's Valencia finally met AC Milan, and Fatty An met his old club. This was another big gimmick.

But judging from external public opinion, the effect is really explosive.

According to outside public opinion, fans actually like to watch this kind of competition, and they even hope to see collisions between different leagues.

The most effective way to prevent La Liga from becoming stronger is for teams in other leagues to improve their competitiveness as soon as possible.

As for, if the four La Liga teams gather in the Champions League semi-finals...

UEFA President Villar smiled and said in an interview with media reporters, "Whether the participating teams are from the same country and the same league is not our first consideration."

"The first thing we have to consider is whether the participating teams represent the highest level of the Champions League and whether they can bring the highest technical and tactical games to fans."

Bilal also explained some of his views on this phenomenon. He believes that there is no need to worry that La Liga teams taking the top four in the Champions League will affect the quality and level of the Champions League.

The Champions League is a cup competition, which is different from the league.

"Fans can see completely different matchups and tactics in the Champions League than in La Liga. This is also part of the value of the Champions League!"

As for whether the four La Liga teams winning the Champions League semi-finals will affect the commercial value of the Champions League, Bilal also expressed that he is not worried because UEFA has invited a third-party agency to conduct an investigation.

"With the current influence of La Liga in the world, I can say responsibly that it will not be affected."

……

Over the weekend, we returned to La Liga and ushered in the 28th round.

Atletico Madrid defeated Osasuna 2-0 in an away game thanks to Torres's brace.

Barcelona defeated Rayo Vallecano 3-2 at home.

Sevilla defeated Zaragoza 4-0 at home.

Valencia defeated Real Betis 3-0 at home.

Real Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 5-2 at home.

There is no shortage of exciting goals and confrontation scenes in every round of La Liga games.

……

After the 28th round of La Liga, we ushered in the two weeks of national team training in March.

The Spanish national team is preparing for the Confederations Cup to be held in Brazil this summer, so Yang Hao began to consider the selection of the national team in the next two years.

The frontcourt and midfield are the least suspenseful.

The staffing is basically relatively stable, especially players like Iniesta, Xavi, Xavi Alonso, Busquets and other players, whose basic positions are very solid.

Cazorla, Fabregas and others are strong additions.

But Yang Hao has always wanted to do one thing, and that is to recruit players such as Carvajal, Isco, and Koke into the team.

This really isn't Yang Hao's selfish intention.

Since Puyol retired, Yang Hao has arranged a combination of Pepe and Pique in the midfield, but the cooperation between the two is not particularly ideal.

Yang Hao still hopes to use Ramos to partner with Pepe. The two cooperate more tacitly at Atletico Madrid and can ensure that the team's defense is stable, but in this case, the right wing becomes a problem.

Before, Yang Hao tried using Arbeloa and Juanfran, but the results were not very good.

Both players have excellent defensive abilities, but their offensive effects are not good.

Looking at the current right backs in Spain, or not only Spain, but the entire world of football, there is really a shortage of excellent right backs.

Maicon's condition has declined so much, but he is still favored by Benitez in Getafe. Why?
Because Vanderveer can't stand up.

The level of the Dutch is there.

Arbeloa is 29 years old, and Real Madrid is still willing to pay such a high price for him. Why?
Because they need a high-level player to replace Ram, but they have no choice.

As La Liga fully embraces the era of offensive football, passing and controlling are becoming more and more important, and the importance of full-backs in the offensive system is also increasing.

At this time, everyone realized that the traditional full-backs in the past were actually not useful.

It seems that in Atletico Madrid's passing and cutting tactical system, Maicon cannot play like Alves.

Evra cannot achieve the same effect as Marcelo.

Therefore, Yang Hao wanted to promote Carvajal.

Isco and Koke are another story.

Cork's passing ability is very strong, but at the same time his running ability and defensive willingness are also very good. He is an all-round midfielder with both offense and defense.

Isco is the kind of player who dares to take the ball, can take the ball outside the opponent's penalty area and rush forward, relying on his personal dribbling ability to create opportunities. This is really good when encountering a densely defensive team. use.

To put it more sinisterly, if you really can't get past it, you might as well create a foul.

There is a lack of such players in the current Spanish team.

Carvajal has performed very well in Atletico Madrid's first team this season. Yang Hao will have no problem recruiting him. The outside media and fans can only say a few words.

But if Isco and Cork also score, it would be a bit unreasonable.

Yang Hao could only observe these two young generals for the time being.

But in the World Cup qualifiers after this training camp, Spain was almost tied with Finland at home first, and finally defeated Finland 1-0 with Ramos' corner kick goal at a critical moment.

Spain did not have such good luck when playing against France away from home.

Deschamps set up an iron barrel formation with three midfielders, almost blocking all Spain's offensive lines.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and settled for a draw 0-0.

No one was able to score the other's goal.

For Spain, the away draw is not bad, but for Yang Hao, this is a wake-up call.

Deschamps does this because he understands Spain and Yang Hao.

Once everyone sees that Deschamps can contain Spain by doing this, will other teams also learn from Deschamps' tactics?
This is what Yang Hao must consider!
If you don’t prepare for a rainy day, do you have to wait until the World Cup to face this problem?

……

After returning from two weeks of national team competition, all the top teams in La Liga performed poorly.

Barcelona drew 2-2 away from Celta Vigo.

Rayo Vallecano drew 2-2 at home with Malaga.

Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Zaragoza away from home.

Valladolid lost 1-3 at home to Osasuna.

Sevilla lost 0-1 away to Levante.

Espanyol drew 2-2 at home with Real Sociedad.

Getafe drew 0-0 with Real Betis away from home.

Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Valencia at home.

Everyone discovered that the strong teams either tied or lost.

The reason is that there are too many international players.

When a team with a large number of national players is affected by the national team and the players' condition is not very ideal, and encounters a team with a relatively small number of national players, problems immediately arise.

In La Liga, where competition is so fierce, the slightest problem can turn into a draw or even a defeat.

Even teams as strong as Barcelona and Real Madrid will be tied by teams near the relegation zone.

As for the 1-1 match between Atletico Madrid and Valencia, both teams performed poorly.

……

Three days later, in the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid defeated Juventus 3-8 with Messi's brace in an away game.

Wenger's Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2-1 away from home.

Facing his old enemy, the professor felt proud again.

Ronaldo scored twice at Old Trafford and performed very well.

In contrast, Manchester United's Franck Ribery seems to be fighting alone.

Under the halo of Rooney, Ribery failed to fully exert his threat in holding and dribbling the ball.

Valencia defeated AC Milan 4-0 at home, and Ancelotti's team showed its strongest side.

Only Barcelona drew 0-0 with Dortmund at home.

When Juande Ramos' team faced Dortmund, they actually failed to swallow up Dortmund at the Nou Camp.

This time the fun was a bit too much.

The Hornets showed an aggressive momentum at the Nou Camp and beat Barcelona without much temper.

Juande Ramos and his players criticized the Hornets' rough style of play after the game, but Barcelona did not have many offensive methods when facing Dortmund's defense.

This also makes many people worry, will Barcelona be upset because of this?
Dortmund's head coach Klopp began to become famous thanks to this battle at Camp Nou.

……

The sequelae of continuous fighting are still reflected in Atletico Madrid.

In the 30th round of La Liga, the Shelters drew with Getafe 0-0 away from home.

Benitez adopted a defensive posture in this game and completely froze Messi, preventing the Argentine from performing normally at all.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia all won.

This also made it clear to Yang Hao and the Atletico Madrid coaching staff that the team's possibility of winning La Liga this season is getting smaller and smaller.

……

Midweek, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After winning 2-0 away from home, Atletico Madrid returned to home and defeated Juventus 2-0 again.

The Sheets Legion eliminated the Old Lady from the Champions League with a total score of 4-0.

Barcelona lost 0-0 at home and lost 2-3 away to Dortmund.

Both teams played very tenaciously, but Dortmund clearly played better.

Klopp's team suffered an upset.

At the same time, the Hornets are also the only non-La Liga team to break out from the quarterfinals in this Champions League against the La Liga teams.

Manchester United and AC Milan were eliminated by Real Madrid and Valencia respectively.

As a result, the top four matchups in La Liga are Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid, and Valencia vs. Dortmund.

……

Over the weekend, the 31th round of La Liga.

After Atletico Madrid experienced two consecutive draws, they were finally proud.

Messi scored twice at home to beat Granada 5-0.

Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away from home.

Arsene Wenger's team has a favorable head start in the race for the La Liga title this season.

Atletico Madrid did make some mistakes that should not have occurred during the long process of this season.

Especially when facing teams such as Getafe and Valencia, coupled with the impact of the large number of international players, the Sheets Army performed poorly in some games.

Valencia drew 3-3 away from home with Espanyol in this round.

……

A week later, the 32th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 3-1 at home.

Barcelona defeated Levante 1-0 at home.

Valencia defeated Malaga 5-2 at home.

Atletico Madrid beat Sevilla 1-0 away from home.

……

Three days later, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid visits the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to challenge Real Madrid.

As UEFA President Villar said, the biggest difference between playing in the league and playing in the cup is that the cup is a knockout tournament.

This led to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid daring to play exciting offensive battles in the league.

But what about the Champions League semi-finals?
Wenger's team obviously played more cautiously, especially at home, and their tactics were relatively more conservative.

In the first eighty minutes, the two teams actually played 0-0.

This is really hard to believe for the Madrid duo, who have always been known for their offensive firepower.

But the turning point of the game came in the 82nd minute.

Ramos' header scored the first goal for Atletico Madrid.

Benzema then equalized the score for Real Madrid in the 88th minute.

Judging from this game, the process was intense, but not exciting enough.

But the most interesting thing is the 33rd round of La Liga at the weekend.

After the two sides played a dull 90-minute match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, just three days later, they returned to La Liga and moved to Atletico Madrid's Emirates Stadium. The two sides carried the banner of offensive football.

In the first 3 minutes, Suarez opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

In the 12th minute, Ronaldo equalized the score for Real Madrid.

After that, both teams actively pressed out to attack.

Before the end of the first half, Di Maria's goal gave Atletico a 2-1 lead.

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Wenger's team once again made a wave of attacks. In the 63rd minute, Yaya Toure equalized the score, 2-2!

But Messi quickly scored two goals to help Atletico beat the visiting Real Madrid 4-2 at home.

Compared with the dullness of the Champions League semi-finals, the Madrid derby in the 33rd round of La Liga was definitely exciting. Both sides played very unrestrainedly and the scene was quite beautiful.

But as the media said, this is mainly because this game is not of great significance to the entire league.

Real Madrid still leads the standings after losing the game.

Atletico Madrid won the game, but failed to overturn Real Madrid in the standings.

It was under this situation that both sides relaxed their mentality and played a wonderful duel.

But soon, they realized that the problem was not that simple.

……

On the evening of October 4, Emirates Stadium in Madrid.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid faced Real Madrid at home.

When the two sides drew 1-1 in the first leg, they had just played a wonderful offensive battle at the weekend. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, the game fell into a stalemate again.

Atletico tried to attack, but Real Madrid's targeted defense worked.
